Description

Outside our solar system, there is a probe, in which a
child´s voice transmits a message from the pass: Hello from the children
of Planet Earth. In an old Finnish provincial song, it is said that
freedom will be found through peaceful means, but the country must be
created anew. From the space ambient to self-sufficient institute the
views of the work lead to a fossil-free life, where generations are
looking for a connection to each other and to the earth we are leaving
behind. The flute part of the piece is freely inspired by the tune of
Tsuru no sugomori.

Composed in collaboration with composer Minna Leinonen, photographer Touko Hujanen and sound designer Jussi Suonikko.
